i've heard some bad things about them but i also red on here one time that some guy had a coba on hi 350x, at first it sounded bad but then he got a spark arrestor for it and then it sounded good, what do you guys think since i've seen that many 35Xs on here with them on.
THIS WAS MY 200th POST! hopefully i make it to 400 :-D

i have a cobra system on one of my x's. it gives a good overall boost in power but yes, it is loud. i've never seen one with the optional sparky so can't comment. i haven't added the sparky for fear of blocking the airflow i added by adding the cobra. if ya live and/or ride where there's not too many others to p-off and you can deal with a loud pipe, it's a pretty good deal for the money. if ya want quiet though fork out the extra cash for another.
peace,
steve

what other pipes for the 350x are good, but not too expensive

I have a cobra on my x also, it's loud but not louder than my buddies raptor with his scorpion pipe.

I never cared for any of the generic OEM replacements. They do give a slight boost in performance, but at the cost of quite a few decibles.
As far as I know, the only 350x specific exhaust available nowadays are those already mentioned. If I were a 350x rider in the market for a new exhaust, I would adapt a 400ex silencer on there and make my own header pipe.

no i don't have the sparky on mine for a couple reasons. one, the cobra lets the x breath better and i fear adding the sparky would restrict some of the flow hence making it a waste to deal with the noise. also, it's like $70 freakin dollars which is about half of what the whole system costs and funds have been too tight lately. once i have an extra $70 layin around, i'll probably pick up the sparky and see how well it works with sounds and retaining the little extra boost i got from the x.

yeah i have a spark arrestor in mine, don't know if it is that much of a difference I have never ran it without it. Just ran a stock 2001 400 ex this weekend that belongs to my cousin and it was close but the x got him. I think he was pissed but I don't know for sure, the motors are probably pushing the same horese but the x must just have it by weight. My motor is bored .40 over and I am only running the pipe and k&n filter.
Find yourself a Supertrapp pipe you will amazed by the sound and performance of it it out does cobra my friend bought a cobra to replace his supertrapp rode for 2 mins and took a sledge hammer to that pile of a cobra pipe.
